  1. I "THINK" that I have finally settled on a Blueprint 350 / 341 hp replacement engine (haven't determined the level of build - Long Block, Base Dressed, or Full Dress). The next big question is the ECU wiring. Does anyone have the wiring diagram / connections? Thus far I have been unable to dig them up.

  3. WOW!!! I was happy (so was the wood) when I attacked my dash w/ mineral oil and bee's wax but your efforts have me thinking....
  4. This last weekend I took RQB3616 out on the road to my Iron Chariots Car Show after being in storage for several months while I built a garage to house her and provide a weather proof location to be able to work on her year round. Everything went well until a knock from deep within the engine appeared.... I was able to limp home via the back roads while purposely not getting much above 35/40mph. I need to empty the oil for sure as the dipstick shows a overfull oil pan (no water beads or fuel smell), pop the valve covers to see what I find, check compression, etc.. My true Gear Head friends have forewarned me that I will need a new engine. While I haven't reworked an engine in MANY years, I am not afraid to take it on but my gut also tells me that it may be a lost cause.... RQB3616 has a 305. The question is what do I need to consider in swapping out the original 305 for a 350? Will the 1983 engine electronics work on the new motor 305 or 350? Are the motor mounts the same? Etc.... Seeking any insight.
